Unsurpassable Wood Floor Cleaning & Buffing Solutions

However, floors warrant buffing if one or more of these conditions are apparent:✓ The floors exhibits stains that you cannot remove with household floor cleaner
✓ You have spilled some sort of substance that is permanent in nature.
✓ You want the floor to have its original sheen.

To Buff or Not-To Buff? That is the question!Of course, even with these conditions met, the floor might need not a cleaning or buffing but a refinishing of your hardwood floors which is another subject altogether. This is completely different from a waxing that might occur on a weekly basis. Waxing just gives the floor a temporary sheen and will highlight any imperfections in the floor, a buffing’s sheen will last much longer and may cover up any imperfections.

So, assuming that your floors just need a buffing, the process is very simple but still require an experienced flooring technician. We’ll explain the cleaning or buffing process below…

Firstly, a machine known as a stripper is used to clear away the top layer of polyurethane on the floor. Then the floor has a buffer passed over it to clean the exposed flooring. Various coats or polyurethane are applied, as well as a sealant to protect the floor’s sheen and top layer. The floor is buffed once more to evenly distribute the sealants and polyurethane and give the floor a very shiny, reflective outer .It’s important to note that the entire floor will need to be buffed, not just a specific area, like a small stain or discoloration. This is due to the fact that the rest of the floor will be unprotected and will be even more likely to need a cleaning or buffing in its near future. Also of major importance is the skill of the person doing performing the Buffing work.
